A while back, Ken and I were having a discussion about why our government seems to continue its strong support for Israel. Jews are certainly not a major voting block in the traditional sense since there are no more than 12 million or so of them in this country. I suggested the usual money-power connection, the whole Hollywood-DNC lovefest, and even mentioned at a later time that many Christian fundamentalists have strong beliefs about the conversion of Jews and the state of Israel. However, my assumption was simply that the Moral Majority still has influence on the Republican party, so the religious beliefs of its members would have some impact on the political landscape. Little did I know. This is quite an interesting and sobering read and further explanantion for why many of our current political leaders feel the way they do about the Land of Canaan.
